Let’s assume the bible is true for a moment. In the new testament God sends his son, Jesus, to die for our sins on the cross which makes the old testament obsolete. It’s also stated multiple times that their mercy is now beyond what we can imagine therefore everyone goes to heaven cleansed of their sins, regardless of who they were and what they did.
Hell and shit was just created to extort peasant in medieval times.
Jesus came to die for the sins of Man, not the sins of all men. The famous John 3:16 is “God so loved the world who sent His only Son, so that whomever may believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
The idea is that murders, rapists, and general good people can go to heaven so long as they believe that Jesus died for them.
Then again, here we are, debating semantics of a book that has been the cause of wars and famine.

Yeah, let’s not put too much thought into it.
People do a lot of work with Matthew 5:17 to wave this away.
